Great cymbal
I own several cymbals from Zultan now. I use them together with my Meinl Byzance cymbals. The Zultans sound just as good. The only complaint I have with this crash is that the volume is a bit low compared the the 17" version I have. And also different thin 18" cymbals I have. Not a big problem, but it should be a bit louder than it is. Maybe it's my mine that is a bit on the thinner side? The sound however is very nice!

Zultan 19" crash ride
I use mainly a ping ride and wanted to add a cymbal with a bit more wash to it but also could be used as a crash. It opens up very nicely as a crash without having to put much force into it. As a ride it has a lot of wash but if you play it again without to much force you can get a good sound from it. It's matter of adjusting your touch. I used it in an unmiked moderately loud classic rock & blues set up.

Interesting
- Good sound
- Hand hammered
- Made in turkey
This cymbal is not a cheap one, this is a high quality one. I don't understand why it costs 1/3 compared to others with the same quality.
The sound is interesting because it's kind of low pitched, but not so warm and deep like other Caz cymbals (even with a smaller diameter). Being considered as a light cymbal, it's also a bit too loud to my ears. The ride sound is good, even if I almost don't use it as a ride, 'cause I find it a bit too high pitched for that; and the sound as a crash is loud and not so warm as I expected.
I also own the Caz 17'' crash and the Caz 20'' ride (which I prefer compared to this). They are my favourite cymbals so far because they are full of harmonics but still really warm. The crash/ride together with those is too loud, I feel it not really compatible.
My advice is:
- if you are looking for a warm crash, go with other zultan caz crashes and you'll be 100% satisfied
- if you're looking for a ride which you can use as a crash too, go with a normal zultan caz ride, they have a wonderful crash sound
Other than that, I have to give anyway 4 stars because 3 would be absolutely too low. It's a great cymbal, the fact is that it's not a standard one, you just have to pay attention to what you get, and what you are looking for.
